Ditto SGC. Those older blood line journals had written articles and letters by the older 40's, 50's and 60's dog men like George Saddler, Earl Tudor, Mike Ferris etc. Frank Fitzwater may have been the one that wrote a article on how to use the round table. From that old article and Mr. Teal's advise. I learned how to use a round table with good results. Like D. Mayfield making improvements on the Jenny by going out to a 40 foot running arm and a extra wide padded dog collar instead of a pulling harness.

I was able to greatly improve the Round Table by building it out to 16 foot. Wanted to go to 20 foot, but my building was not wide enough. Set the pulling arm one foot forward of the center to keep the dog running out front and middle of table. Not falling into the back of it. Set the table low to ground around knee high. Dogs ran real relaxed and not tense. The table bed had 100% cotton felt and a carpet pad underneath. Never had a dog or young dog that would not work it or got carpet burns on the foot pads.

In those older UKC bloodline journals they usually had a printed 8 or 12 generation UKC pedigrees on older famous dogs. Could fill in a lot of missing info way back there on some of our dogs today.

V. Jackson got all my older blood lines journals, magazines, books, letters etc. including all the old magazines I copied from Mr. Joe Beal. He let a young man in Texas borrow that nice red hard bound book Pete Sparks published. Was on the 1970-80's dogs. Never was seen again. Jackson has no one in his family that is interested in his dogs or the dog game. When he passes probably all will be just thrown away. Tell your friend to keep up the good work. If I was a young dog man today I would buy up every book and magazine I could get. Knowing a lot of the past history will help one to make better choices even in the dogs today.
Cheers
